Oh, I was only thinking of the 'Tales and Technicals' on cebik.com,
I hadnt considered the mirroring of antennex.


The snapshot of I took today seems to be intact with respect to
"Tales...", but I only human randomly checked about 25% of the links.

And I think "Tales..." is intact.

Thanks Roy for passing on the sad and unexpected news.

Professor Cebik's life is a good example of the positive influence that a
fan can have on a technical subject. Antennas are most distant from his
professional work, and yet we all know how much he contributed to an
understanding of our favorite subject.

Hello, all, and it is always sad when another silent key is added. I
don't make a habit of reading articles posted on antennex.com since it was
they who were (still are?) backers of the CFA and other flawed (IMO)
concepts. (I was surprised some years back when antennex.com published
Dr. John (Jack) Belrose's mythbusting paper on the CFA using the results
of a NEC model of that antenna.)
No doubt antennex.com also has promulgated some viable antenna designs.
Now, if non-engineers/non-physicists would just refrain from trying to
explain the underlying "theory" of operation behind their revolutionary
spare-time antenna designs. Please excuse the rant and I don't mean to
imply that W4RNL contributed to any of this. My best to W4RNL's family.
Sincerely, and 73's from N4GGO,

Sorry to hear this. His contributions in explaining
various aspects of antennas taught me a lot.

Please, someone. I had surgery last Thursday and my friend Roy last sent me flowers then. Via e-mail of course. When I tried to contact him on Friday to let him know I was doing well, I got no reply. What happened to him?

Please, I am trying to post a message. I cannot tell whether it has gone through. Can someone please tell me what happened to Roy? Leo the cat, Jean's cat, died about two weeks ago. Roy was working on another antenna project. There were two inches of rain. There was weeding to do. Can someone please tell me what happened?

Wow, that was fast.
Antennex now requires registration (free) to access the cebik.com site.
I wonder how many thousand websites now contain broken reference links.

I am not surprised.

Antennax are commercial publishers, and they are the publishers of
cebik.com .

Whilst Cebik implored people to not bulk copy his site, he did offer the
option of a $35 CD from Antennax. The site contained measured to prevent
certain kinds of access. No doubt Antennax's action is to protect their
revenue stream.

I am sure that many publishers will be revising their websites to remove
links to Antennax's archived / restricted cebik.com site.

I never met him, but his books and more than anything his website
contained infinite amounts of wisdom and experience on every subject
from antenna modeling massive UHF arrays on modern computers to
boiling wooden dowels in parrafin to make ladder-line spacers, and
everything in-between. I miss his wisdom already!!!!
